5.1 System Architecture

We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into

the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers

attached by a print server to be connected to the network.

We have developed the print server to support NetWare

print server.

Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue

management functionality” of NetWare print server,

PSERVER program running on the NetWare server. A user

first prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed to a

NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a

print queue and then the print server gets the print job from

the queue to printers.

advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing

functionality in the print server include:
